Bernie gains huge credibility just by standing on the stage 1 on 1 with Hillary Clinton

Just the visual image of him standing up there next to one of the most powerful people in the world, a former Secretary of State, a top presidential candidate, and former first lady.

It signals he can be taken seriously. He is no longer a fringe candidate.

A lot of people will be more comfortable with him now. And it's easier to make a choice when there are just two. I'm sure we'll see more great endorsements like Mr. Danny Glover today. Which was huge. And most importantly, more voters.

Given the new national polling showing significant gains for Sanders, and assuming a big win in NH, I think the timing would be about right for it. It's probably not really much of a prediction since the writings been on the wall for a while now.

nor his grace. I "fall in love" with him more every time I see him. He blows me away. Being able to go mano a mano with the likes of HRC, formidable, as she is!
